This is ridiculous. They need to allow a taxi squad of 2 pitchers for each league in case of a tie. Sorry, but this is pretty stupid 

hopefully they just opted out or something and weren't actually passed over. sounded like the swingers may have been chosen before the game or something.

I'd be happy calling it a 9-inning tie and going home. which I'm going to do, except I'm already home, so I'll just watch something else instead.

home run swing-off for a tie? is that a new thing? (I never watch these.)

ok, apparently it is. I guess one HR derby for the week isn't enough.

I smiled when I saw Kwan. He's a huge PITA. And Skubal is off the hook.

Gonna end a tie game?

best case is a tie. NL has used all their pitchers, so there's no way we're going to extras.

AL can get BABIP luck, too, apparently.

ah, damn. hit it hard but not hard enough.

good, no shutout at least.

Mize getting into the act. sigh.

I’m smelling a shut out

I hate that smell.

time to get McKinstry in there to get the offense going.

Skubal stock dropping...😅😅

they'll never be able to trade him now!

(fine with me.)

quit bothering Skoob and let him get some outs here.

Tork sac fly that sounded like it was almost more

Riley triple!

there goes the perfecto. oh, well.

Game is on Apple TV.

I look forward to all the "oppo taco" bits on the radio stream then. maybe someday I'll know what it means.

The audio in AJ‘s Detroit-based post game remarks is truly awful. I noticed when they were on the road the audio was normal. I don’t know why they can’t fix this.

there was a game very recently (must have been earlier in this series) where I fired up the stream a few minutes before the game started, and it sounded like Dan and Bobby were conferenced in on their cell phones. but then the pregame chatter got interrupted by a TV commercial break, and when the broadcast came back, they sounded normal.

why is Chase Lee still pitching?

well, this sucks all of a sudden.

Tork seemed out of position to me. like when it was time for McKinstry to throw to him, he was way off to the side instead of in the runner's path.

Wasnt' that rundown on Tork for coming towards McKinstry?

yes

I love a good comeback, even if it wasn't a huge deficit.

right off the jaw protector. god damn.

someone other than Vierling gets drilled for a change in this game.
